Specication of Letters Patent.

Patented Malu, 1911.

Application led March 19, 1910. Serial No. 550,364.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAXIMILLIAN P. JANISCH, citizen of the United States, residing at Milwaukee, county of Milwaukee, and State of lVisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in Milk-Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in receptacles.

The object of my invention is to provide a form of construction which will be sufficiently inexpensive to meet the requirements for a bottle which is to be filled but once, aud which will also have stability when loaded in a. wagon or other vehicle used for delivery purposes and which will readily fit any ordinaryv frame which may be used in such a vehicle to support the upper ends of the bottles.

A further object of my invention is to provide a bottle of light weight and sufficient durability for the desired purpose, which can be capped by the ordinary capping machines now used for capping glass bottles.

A (further object of my invention is to provide an absolutely sanitary bott-le, the interior. being hermetically. sealed up to the time that the bottle is lled.

-In the following description, reference is had to the accompanying drawings, vin which- Figure 1 is an elevation of a milk bottle embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the same drawn on line of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a view in horizontal section, drawn on line y-y of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 1, showing a slightly modified form of construction. Fig. 5 is a sectional view, drawn to the same plane as Fig. 3 and showing a third form of const-ruction. Fig. 6 is a detail sectional view of the mouthpiece, showing the sealing sheet after the same has been broken by the filling funnel and also showing the cap piece in position. y l

Like parts are identified bythe same referencecharacters throughout the several views.

A bottle is provided. with 'al mouth piece, having adownwardly iextending port-ion A, the outer surface of whichl is substantially cylindrical ini form, and anv upper portion B havinga roundedouter surface and an interior groove forminga 'shoulder at C, this groove being slightly -under cut, e. the diameter at the shoulder is slightly-greater than the diameter at D above the-shoulder.

The mouth piece composed of thevparts A- and B, as above explained, may be formed of wood, or of any other suitable material, wood being probably the least expensive at the present time. The part B extends out-- Ward abruptly from the part A forming a shoulder against which abuts the side wall E of the bottle. This side wall is preferably formed of paper rolled to produce a conically tapered cylinder, the upper end of which is adapted to lit the part A. of 'the mouth piece member. Y the rolled sheet which forms theside walls, may be stitched together, as shown at F in Fig. 1, or gummed together as indicated at 7' in Fig. l, or, if desired, they may be connected by -means of al metallic clip f, as shown in Fig.' 5, said clip having laterally turned lips c adapted to pass between the margins of the wall E and engage the inner surfaces of said wall with a clenching or clamping action. It will therefore be observed that it-is not material to my invention what means are employed to connect the side margins of the wall E, since any 'form of liquid tight, sanitary joint may be employed. The bottom of the receptacle is also constructed of paper, pressed lnto the form of a shallow cup, having'a Wall Gr which forms the bottom properfand side ianges H, this cup shaped structure being inserted into the lower end of the receptacle "in an inverted position and the' walls H gummed to the lower marginsof the wall E or secured thereto by stitching or in any other convenient manner. The bottle thus formed, is coated with paraf'rin, preferably both inside and out, the para-ffm rendering the same liquid tight and air tight, when the mouth is closed.

If desired, a sheet of oiled paper, or equivalent material I is applied to the lower margin of the 'portion A of the mouth piece and secured thereto by the paraiin or inany other suitable manner. This sheet of paper I will preferably be applied and secured in position before the bottom G is inserted, after which the body ofthe bottle is dipped in parainand the bottom G inserted and sealed, either by a subsequent dipping in hot. parain, or' by insert-ing. the bottom G before the coating of paraffin on the'side walls E is permit-ted to cool. When the lbottle is to be filled, 'the insertion of a illl 'ing funnel will break the sealing sheet I. 'and as .soon as the bottle has been filled, it

The meeting edges of' y cap J inserted in is transferred to the capping machine and a the mouth into contact with the shoulder C. This cap J is also preferably of paper and is of the same form t as those now in common use for glass bottles.

It is not material to my invention whether the sealing sheet I is applied to the lower `margin of the mouth piece member or whether it is applied to the shoulder C, since this sheet of paper will be sufficiently thin so that it will not interfere with the insertion of the cap. The sealing sheet need not be removed when perforated by the insertion of the funnel. Where the bottles are capped under sanitary conditions preparatory to being used, it will not, of course, be necessary to employ the sealing sheet- I` and this may therefore-be dispensed with, if desired.

It will be observed that the mouth piece is so formed that it may be forced into the upper end of^the receptacle, the convergence of the side walls being insutcient to prevent a sufficiently close fit to secure a liquid tight lioint with the -aid of the paraflin coating. Thiscoating is the only securing means required for positively connecting the mouth piece to the side walls, for the part-s are nonmetallic and fibrous, and the walls, particularly the side walls, lwill yield suiiciently under pressure to permit the lower margin ofrthe mouth piece to pass the upper margins of the side walls.- It will be further observed that the cap is supported by the mouth piece above the margins of lthe side walls, thus allowing suiiicient ystock in a lion-metallic member, to avoid liability of breakage without unduly contracting the opening, for the mouth piece is thickened outwardly beyond the side walls.

By locating the cap above the side wall margins, caps may be used having a diameter nearly as great as that of the opening at the upper end ofthe side walls in' which the mouth piece is inserted, and the rounded portion B ofthe mouth piece not only rests upon the side wall margins and prevents the mouth piece from being forced inwardly,

but also extends beyond the side walls and protects them against jamming or buckling pressures, the necessary stock to prevent breakage at the ypoint'where the cap is inserted. rl.`he downwardly extending member or flange A may thus have an opening as large as in ordinary milk bottles.

Having thus described myv invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination with a receptacle having paper side walls, of an annular nonmetallic mouth piece having a rounded surface covering and extending outwardly beyond the upper margins of the side walls and provided with a downwardly projecting flange tting said side walls, said mouth piece having an interior shoulder adapted to receive a disk shaped cap, and agradually contracting annular inner surface above the shoulder adapted to permit the insert-ion and removal of a liexible non-metallic cap.

2. rlhe combination with a receptacle having paper side walls, of a non-metallic mouth piece covering the upper margins of the side walls and provided with a downwardly projecting apertured member fitting said side walls, said mouth piece having an vinterior shoulder adapted to receive a disk shaped cap, and a gradually contracting inner surface above the shoulder adapted 'to permit the insertion andremoval of a iiexible non-metallic cap, said cap receiving shoulder being located above the plane of the upper margins of the side walls, and the mouth piece lbeing thickened v outwardly above said wall margins, to impart the necessary rigidity and strength to the cap retaining portion of said mouth piece and prevent the latter from being forced downwardly into the receptacle.

In testimony whereof I atix my signature inV the presence of two witnesses.
